How to Rainproof your home this monsoon

Basic principles of protecting your home from the rains:
‘Tis the season for normal water leakages. Cracks in ceiling and walls allow normal water to seep through from the outside. Identify these cracks and find them set with a water sealant and a coat of paint
Have a book of tarpaulin sheets ready to cover your porch or wide windows with. It’s cheap and effective way of keeping the water away
Awning
In the event that you have the space for an awning over your balcony, it is a great alternative for a tarpaulin sheet & makes for great mood throughout the rains!

Most wood made doors swell slightly during the monsoons. A sandpaper can be used to reduce the patch, and the same trick can be used for wooden compartments and cabinets

Red o2 and a coat of paint can be used to rust-proof grills and railings

Getting your wiring and switch boards checked out features essential importance during the monsoons. Avoid pushing in multiple devices into one socket, in spite of multi-pin plugs

Get a few silica gel pockets from your local electrical shop, make them in and around your devices to draw in the moist

Quick tips to make the monsoon more exciting in your home:
Have your plants outside. Having them indoors increases the humidity in the air

Minus a dehumidifier, just turn on the air fitness for some time to reduce the excess moisture

Exchange heavy and dark curtains with sheer ones until autumn comes

Use good old camphor tablets or potpourri sachets to keep the air dry, and fragrant, inside cupboards rather than silica gel sachets
